Travel well, Jane. I am sure you and Dian will have much to discuss. Thank you for using your time on earth to make the world a better more compassionate place. You were one of the greats.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social of TX is inspiring. He is what being an actual Christian looks like. I hope he wins his race. We need more people like him in government.

While the dumbo Dems are deciding if they want to do the right thing and vote NO on funding Trump’s government or help him with his fascist takeover Republicans are already controlling the narrative. WHY are Democrats so unwilling to fight for us?

Dear Dems: Stop with the mealy-mouthed bullshit. Speak with conviction. Endorse our candidates with enthusiasm. Quit playing by the old rules. And if you’re a Boomer stuck in the past—retire already. You’re old news. The country depends on you to decenter your fucking egos.

What’s next? Will the Dictator in Chief rename the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Death? What a fucking moron.

Justice Department Publishes Proposed Rule to Grant Relief to Certain Individuals Precluded from Possessing Firearms WASHINGTON — President Trump directed the Department of Justice to address the ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment rights of our citizens—all of them. Federal law disables the firearms right...

Republicans care more about giving guns back to “disenfranchised” felons than they do the systematic disenfranchisement of voters in communities of color. This is fascism.

Every Democrat who refuses to get behind Mamdani should receive a primary challenge and be SHAMED out of the party. Their refusal to support the party’s nominee is part of the reason why I am now a registered Independent. Democrats behave like idiots and wonder why the fascists are winning.

I’m excited about Margaret Wiener’s new book, “Magic’s Translations.” I’m eager to dig into it because we disagree on the anthropological value of magic. I look forward to thinking deeply about what’s at stake in the language we use. #magic #anthropology #dukeuniversitypress

Conference thoughts: Conducting interviews at a field site does not mean one is doing ethnography. Ethnography is far more. It requires immersion, empathy, and participation.

Democrats need to be an opposition party - not a bunch of spineless rule worshipping cowards. MAGA is a cult. Democrats must stop treating Trump like a politician. Instead, if we want to win we need to use the same strategies that are employed to deal with cult leaders. #resist #oppose #obstruct.

When birth right citizenship appears before SCOTUS any Justice who votes in support of Agent Orange’s unconstitutional executive order should be impeached. The law is clear.

Today the U.S. inaugurated a fascist who stood flanked by oligarchs. The Democrats who played along today like this was just another inauguration are complicit and should be ashamed.

This is why we need anthropology, religious studies, literature, and philosophy. These disciplines take seriously the more poetic features of humanity that positivists ridicule as “weird.”
